Rajkummar Rao’s diet plan for his web series ‘Bose – Dead/Alive’ will shock you!

Actor Rajkummar Rao is a powerhouse performer and he has proved it time and again with his fabulous performances in movies. Now, he takes it a notch higher with his avatar as freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose in the ALTBalaji’s ‘Bose- Dead/Alive’. We have seen the rushes of the series and he looks promising AF. From shaving off his head to gaining 11 kg, he has put in lots of efforts for the role.

So, he recently revealed his diet plan for the character of Bose. Said Rajkummar, “My diet plan was just to eat as much from sweets to pizzas to biryanis to parathas with lot of cheese and ghee. As actors, we are always on a constant diet but this was my chance to just let go and enjoy all the scrumptious food as much. Lot of sweets, pizzas, biryanis and parathas but mainly sweets. I wanted to feel like a different person altogether. That’s why I shaved my head half and gained all this weight and that’s exactly what happened, when I looked at myself after 3-4 weeks of hogging. I couldn’t see Raj in the mirror and I started my preparation from there.” (Also Read: The best birthday gift Rajkummar has ever received is an army uniform. DETAILS INSIDE)

The creative producer of ‘Bose – Dead/Alive’ by ALTBalaji, Hansal Mehta reveals that his transformation took place during the Kolkata schedule. He said, “People go on a diet to lose weight, but Rajkummar went on a diet to increase weight. The fact we were in Kolkata helped as he ate sandhesh, rasgullas, and all the possible sweets along with cheese laden pizza’s, butter dripping aloo parathas. Looking at him, even I would get tempted to eat the same. It was strange as Rajkummar has always been a person who would eat healthy, quinoa, protein etc was always a part of his diet. It was a very unhealthy diet but he did it all to get into the skin of the character.” The web series also stars Patralekhaa Paul and Edward Sonnenblick in pivotal roles.
